UPDATED @ 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, May 24, 2016
At 6:42 p.m. I received the first of 3 e-mails announcing the adjournment of the Thursday, May 26, 2016 Measure Z Oversight Advisory Committee Meeting until June 30, 2016.
Per Resolution 2013-37 Section 6 Time and Place of Meetings.
The Committee shall establish a regular date, time and place for Committee meetings, which shall be open to the public. Said meetings shall occur no less frequently than every 3 months.

The last meeting of the Measure Z Oversight Advisory Committee Meeting occurred on February 25, 2016 (the June 30th date will be 4 months and 5 days since the last meeting.)
3 days after the last meeting the term of 3 members of the committee ended which leaves the current committee with 2 members and 3 members-elect (not sworn in), also no chair or vice-chair.

The city of wildomar has finally stomped the Measure Z Oversight Committee into oblivion.
Fist they would delay meetings by a week, then a month and now nothing.
Its on the city of wildomar’s calendar (been there for over a month) but with hours past the required Brown Act time of 72 hours to post an agenda NOTHING

An e-mail to a city official asking if the meeting has been cancelled has yet to be responded to.
The worst part of this is nobody cares. It’s only a lousy 350K of taxpayer money.

As of February 3, 2016 the city of wildomar has provided the citizens an OFFICIAL page to view information on the “by district” process.

Visit
http://www.cityofwildomar.org/city-clerk.asp#elections

On this page you will find the letter that started the process rolling, the city attorney’s responses to that letter, the beginnings of the mapping process (three (3) Draft Maps with accompanying demographics) are provided. An interactive map is also included so you can switch from one draft to another easily.

What’s left is a packet so everyday citizens can participate in the process without waiting until the end of a long boring city council meeting, as this is where the council has determined you can participate in the mandated three (3) public meetings.

Once again Wildomar will cancel its “Measure Z Oversight Meeting”. This time around its reportedly because of a lack of a quorum.
Never mind that this meeting would normally have occurred in October but was pushed out due to city officials not having enough time to gather the necessary information.

This current group of citizens manning the committee apparently do not consider this committee to be of any importance as this date has been know to them for several months.
Of this group two individuals could not even be bothered to turn in their annual audit despite the city giving them a form that detailed what to look for, all they need to do was fill it in.

While looking over the current batch of numbers city officials should consider themselves fortunate this cancellation occurred as many important figures generated are pure garbage.

An example are the figures given for water usage.

Water Bill at Marna O’Brien Park for the period 7/1/15 – 9/30/15 shown as $4,533.00

But when one looks at what the city has already paid one finds an enormous discrepancy.

Voucher 205220 09/03/2015 000012 EVMWD Invoice #7574988
07/06/15 – 08/04/15 Water Marna O’Brien $3,672.03

Voucher 205349 10/15/2015 000012 EVMWD Invoice #7623179
8/04/15 – 9/04/15 Water Marna O’Brien $9,226.88

Total $12,898.91 while still missing 31 days of billings. That’s a -$8,365.91 difference

Water Bill at Regency Heritage Park for the period 7/1/15 – 9/30/15 shown as $509.00

Voucher 205220 09/03/2015 000012 EVMWD Invoice #7583346
07/09/15 – 08/07/15 Water Heritage Park (Aut) $393.51

Voucher 205349 10/15/2015 000012 EVMWD Invoice #7627110
8/07/15 – 9/08/15 Water Regency Heritage (Aut $554.10

Total $947.61 while still missing 30 days of billings. That’s a -$438.61 difference

Water Bill at Windsong Park for the period 7/1/15 – 9/30/15 shown as $1,120.00

Voucher 205220 09/03/2015 000012 EVMWD Invoice #7593870
07/16/15 – 08/14/15 Water Windsong Park $755.18

Voucher 205382 10/22/2015 000012 EVMWD Invoice #7640993
8/14/15 – 9/14/15 Water Windsong Park $1,115.21

Total is $1,870.39 while missing 31 days of billings. That’s a -$750.39

Electricity appears to be very much the same, under reported by a huge amount. Unfortunately the city continues to hide the actual electric bill in the vouchers by calling it city electricity (this lumps all the parks together). Every other electric bill for CSA’s, Cemetery, Ball Field, specific addresses are listed separate.

Electric cost are so far off its laughable. Last years usage for the two summer months exceeded $4,000 each month and now staff is telling this committee that cost for the whole quarter, three months is $2,834.00. This is less than three weeks worth of usage for any summer month of last year, the inaugural year when little organized activity occurred.
Just the customer charge (cost of having a meter) for Regency Heritage Park with no electric usage exceeds the $49.00 listed. At $0.836 per day X 92 days (7/1/15 – 9/30/15) comes to $76.91.
In the coming days I will be (to the chagrin of some) placing a public records request, by meter number, for each of the parks to verify the true number.

Thursday night August 27, 2015 was supposed to be a rescheduled Measure Z Oversight Committee Meeting.

Guess what ?

As of 7:13 pm on Monday August 24, 2015 with less than 69 1/2 hours to go there is no agenda posted on the City of Wildomar Parks Website.

Per the Brown Act notice must given 72 hours.

With the Measure Z Oversight Committee in turmoil and almost no one giving a rat’s behind its beginning to look much like the year 2000.

This will be the first opportunity for Citizens of Wildomar to see first hand what is in the works for this exciting project and to add input.
